Description On September 14, 2026, Arkansas State Police Trooper Dustin Medford encountered a black Ford Excursion near West 11th Street and Interstate 630 in Little Rock. According to the Arkansas State Police report, the vehicle initially stopped behind Trooper Medford with its hazard lights activated before moving around the patrol vehicle and stopping again. Trooper Medford then followed the vehicle to the next exit, where the driver began pulling over. During the contact, Trooper Medford reported observing signs that led him to suspect the driver was impaired. The report states that the driver acknowledged previous PCP use and later refused a preliminary breath test. The situation quickly changed when the driver reached toward the vehicle's ignition and then began operating the vehicle. After being warned not to flee, the driver placed the vehicle in drive and left the scene. Trooper Medford immediately notified dispatch and began pursuing the vehicle. The dashcam footage captures the late-night pursuit and the actions of Trooper Medford as the incident develops on I-630. Watch the full footage to see how this traffic stop unfolds.
